Mechanical Wonder
The mechanical wonder is
It`s just a noise in my room
And I`m chasing the wonder and
It`s just a hole in my tune
And the radio plays but it
But it don`t sing a song
And the mechanical thunder is
What is all going wrong
And I walk down the road and I
I awake in a tune
But the mechanical thunder is
It`s just a noise in my room
And we rode it once
On a thundering night
So I walk with you
Where the locks take flight
All machines make our lives today
And I like them the best
But the mechanical thunder is
It`s just a noise in my head
And the radio plays at me
But it don`t sing a song
But the mechanical wonder is
Ah, it`s all going wrong
And they rode it once ("And we rode it once" on last chorus)
On a thundering night
So I walk with you
Where the locks take flight
And we keep on through
It`s where the road don`t roar
Where the farm once stood
Where the union crawls, big time
The machines that I`m walking from
Though they play in the songs
And the dreams that your holding on
Don`t run for so long
So I`m hiding machines away
But I keep them for you
But the things that you wanna say
It`s just a noise in my room
And I look at the picture now
And there`s a weight on us all
But the mechanical wonder is
It`s a cure one and all
Repeat full chorus with slight variation
